Some people figure it out right away, and others are freaked out by it. There are other tricks out there that are similar. It either blows em away, or they figure it out. However, I started doing the trick using sticky stuff and accomplished the same effect. I saw the video of FLOAT, I realize that it might not be done with sticky stuff. Like any purchase, one has to be selective. again, why Magic? Have you been disappointed in other stuff? He does import some good stuff to the UK. Magic said he was planning on not buying anything from J.B. Take the deck back, riffle the deck over the packet commenting, “Perfect, you did it!” then spread the jokers.Īs for Float, yep, I e-mailed Mark and told him it just looked like something sticky on his fingers, but he replied "No sticky stuff!" I think it is a case of something perhaps being overthought. Request he thinks just of the second card then snap your fingers, spread the jokers to show the signed card in between.Īlternately, before the revelation comment it must have been his shuffle and hand him the cards to shuffle again requesting he shuffle the cards back into the same order they were in before he shuffled them before. The card sandwich (the required moves being done) is placed to one side. Comment, “That first card must still be in your subconscious or were you thinking of it?” Show the first card again between the jokers. The shuffling of the deck by the spectator always makes the effect stronger in his eyes.Īdd the jokers on the top of the deck face down and request him to think of his card. More than likely they won’t but bear it in mind, things like this happen in the real world. In an informal situation it is quite possible the spectator will jokingly suggest you cannot find the first card now! (They just shuffled the deck containing it remember?) So you are in a position to knock their socks off should that happen. You immediately control it to the top (by your favourite method!). Have him sign the card (because you want to do this under test conditions?) and return it. Taking back the deck have him select a card (free choice this time) saying that you are going to break the unwritten rule of magic never to repeat the same trick twice. After the first part of the trick (the jokers have found the selection) and you cleanly place the selection back into the deck immediately hand the deck to the spectator to shuffle. Just have the force card selected initially. Yet another approach, and one I prefer, is as follows. Have him sign the none force card then tell him he has no need to remember that one as he will recognize his signature later and know it is his, but that you want him to remember the other as you are dealing with that one first. Have the one spectator select the two cards as before, but point out it is not easy to remember two cards so you will have him remember one card and forget the other. Obviously a lot of magical hobbyists may only be showing the effect to one person and you have probably already made that logical leap that one person can select the two cards! However, the approach is the thing. The ideas follow, I titled the additional instruction page for Andrew "Singles Club" I gave him some additional ideas to his original instructions, but as far as I know he didn’t pass these on to Mark Mason (but I wouldn’t have minded). I liked that when Andrew Normansell let me have one, prior to him selling the rights to J. The dog looked a little *****-off.)Īxman mentioned "Club Sandwich" being good. I hope you enjoyed your stay.Īctually she did enjoy it when I floated the dog. That concludes this little glimpse into my private life. ![]() "Look hon, it’s floating! No wires, no gizmos." ![]() So I rigged up my own "float" and showed it to my wife. Yeaaa wellll it might be except that it’s stuck to YOUR HAND! (Sorry.) I thought I was being a little unfair earlier so I took another look at the video. I give it my highest recommendation.Īllright. If you watch the video it’s actually kinda funny. If we are allowed to hang onto things as we "float" them then you should see me levitate my dog (actually my wife’s dog, a Welsh Corgi). It doesn’t even compare to any of the card levitations you mentioned because the card is still in your hand. I’m going with my man Bernard on this one Quinn.
